Great Construction

The Human Body Is an Integrated Whole

     Let me describe how much contemporary medical science is in error.
     The extent of that error is the fact that medical science is divided into various specialties. There is that such as neurology; otolaryngology, that is, an ear, nose, and throat; ophthalmology; gynecology, and pediatrics. Think about it. The human body has not been created by joining like a doll the separate parts of the arms, legs, and trunk. The whole body comprises a reciprocal relationship. Here are three examples.
     At one time, there was a period that my toilet became red with hemorrhaged blood when excreting stools. This went on for one month, then abruptly stopped. Now before this had occurred, my head had been feeling very heavy to the point I could not bear the pressure I felt when I had to speak at length. But, after the hemorrhaging described above, my head felt much lighter. At that time I knew of the fallacies of medical science so it was good that I just left the condition alone. If I had gone to a doctor, he probably would have diagnosed my condition as hemorrhoids and tried to stop the bleeding. From this experience, it can be understood that there is a relationship between the bleeding from hemorrhoids and the brain.
     The next example is that of a young woman with a toothache. Her toothache was soon healed with Johrei, but she was back the following day saying the pain had started again. When I checked her, she had a lump in her lymph glands. When Johrei was channeled to the lump, the toothache soon went away, but next morning, she said it hurt again, and this time there was a lump in her ribs. When channeled to, the pain went away but returned the next day, and I wondered if the lump had not moved downward, so I checked the area around her appendix, and there was a lump to which channeling took away the pain in her tooth, and this time her toothache was really healed. What happened was that she had previously had an appendectomy, and the remaining disinfectant inside her body had turned to pus and was seeking discharge through her teeth. That was the cause of the pain. Thus, not realizing this, had she gone to a dentist, there is no way her toothache could have been healed. This example as well illustrates that the human body is an integrated whole.
     And, finally, there is the following case. It involves a patient who had symptoms such as high fever, coughing, elimination of phlegm and had been diagnosed with tuberculosis. When I examined him, I found that he had a lump on the right side of his groin region, and I thought this was the root of the problem. I channeled Johrei to him and in a short span of time, he recovered. I laughingly told him, “Your lung was in your thigh.” A lump in the groin had begun to purify, and turning into light fever and then phlegm, was seeking discharge by coughing and mucous elimination through the lungs and this process was mistaken for tuberculosis. Such often happens. This account is also a good example for understanding that the human body is an integrated whole.
     Comparing this process to a nation, let suppose that the human body is Japan. If Eastern Japan is prosperous, there is no way that Western Japan will be in decline. The whole nation is a united body, and each part influences the other. As long as the principle of a whole, integrated human body is not recognized, no matter how much “progress” is made, there is no way that can be created true healing that really does save the individual.

“Jintai wa Sōgōtai de Aru” was one of Meishu-sama’s three essays that was published on the front page of Hikari, Issue 38 on December 3, 1949. No published translations of this essay are known to exist. Meishu-sama made several revisions to the newspaper version and published the essay several months later as a chapter of the book Shinji no Kenkōhō, Jikan Sōsho, Daijūhen, (The Divinely-Inspired Approach to Health, Jikan Library, Volume 10), page 52, April 20, 1950.  The newspaper version of the essay was reprinted (page 123) in the anthology Igaku Kankei Goronbun Shū (Collected Essays on Medical Science) that did enjoy a limited circulation. Igaku Kankei Goronbun Shū contains no publication data, but internal evidence suggests that its editing stopped several months preceding Meishu-sama’s death. Furthermore, since the book lacks publication data, whether the volume had Meishu-sama’s imprimatur or not is unknown, so details concerning this volume are probably impossible to research.
